Praise for the Folk Club
Maddie Morris sent us this after performing at the Folk Club on 16th February:
"Cambridge Folk Club is an example of what a folk club should look like, and the direction I hope the folk scene continues to go in. With a commitment both to the tradition, and to creating events that welcome everyone. Cambridge Folk Club is a warm, welcoming and safe atmosphere for artists and audiences and a true embodiment of what folk music should be. People coming together, sharing music, laughter and community through song. The team are welcoming, friendly and helpful, the sound is beautiful and the audiences are appreciative."

Open Stage
with special guest
Emily Fraser
At the Golden Hind, 355 Milton Road, Cambridge CB4 1SP
8pm (Doors open 7:30pm)
Entry: £5(door), £4(advance), £3(members & performers).
Emily Fraser: The genre in which singer/songwriter Emily Fraser falls into is hard to place. Having grown up in a creative environment, her father a musician and mother an artist, from a young age Emily witnessed how one could be expressive with creativity and that this did not need to be confined to one particular form or style. With a phenomenal range and agility in her voice – from rich and sensuous earthiness to the resonating and hauntingly ethereal – paired with her delicate touch on guitar, she has an ability to completely transfix; leaving an audience silent, hairs standing on the end. Emily’s writing is deeply personal, her lyrics form direct and intimate messages, chronicling the moment. The candour of her lyrics reveal a wistful astuteness, exploring the struggles to reconcile her thoughts, feelings and actions. Singing with a stirring reflective melancholy, that lays bare a guileless vulnerability, Emily’s voice has the power to pull you through an array of emotions, embracing you in a fully cathartic experience.
